Bank Indonesia Ensures Rupiah Money Edition 80 Years Of Indonesian Independence Is A Hoax

JAKARTA - Bank Indonesia (BI) ensures that Rupiah's 80th edition of the Independence Year of the Republic of Indonesia which is circulating through videos on social media is a hoax.

"I'll just inform you that it's a hoax and it's been informed through BI's social media," said BI Money Management Department Director Hari Widodo when confirmed by Antara in Jakarta, Friday.

BI emphasized that until now the central bank has not issued the latest Rupiah Independence Commemoration (UPK) money.

This was conveyed by BI on Friday through its official social media accounts such as Instagram, X (Twitter), to TikTok.

The last UPK issued by BI was rupiah banknotes in denominations of Rp75,000 in the context of the 75th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia's Independence in 2020.

Previously, videos circulating widely on social media showed banknotes with the Rupiah narration of the 80th edition of the Republic of Indonesia's Independence Year.

The money has a gray base color, written on the one hand 80 Years of Independence: Unity, Sovereign, and Achievement in Pancasila. MERDEKA !!.

With a background with a red-and-white flag and a green plane, the First President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno in a white safari suit and a black cap brandishing his fingers up. Next to Soekarno's picture, there is a picture of a woman wearing a red kebaya.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, there is an image of the map of Indonesia with the Garuda symbol and it is equipped with the words 'RepublicIndonesia'. The money only has the number 80 and there is no writing rupiah', Bank Indonesia, or the signature of the Governor of BI and the Minister of Finance.
